Clear Discharge From Scalp After Washing Hair, No Sores Present On Scalp. Causes?

My ten year old son s scalp is seeping a clear liquid only at the crown of his head leaving his hair in that location sticky. His scalp looks clean, white and healthy-no sores of any kind. I ve noticed his scalp continuously leeks this fluid after he has washed and towel dried for about the next 30 mins. He s been using 2 different shampoos. What can this be?

1. stop hair oil
2. Daily shampoo with ARCOLANE lotion application on hair roots for 5-10 minutes followed by sebowash shampoo
